Trump hints at fresh Iran strikes, says deal still possible
President Donald Trump hinted at possible renewed US military action against Iran as early as Sunday, while also suggesting a diplomatic agreement remains possible amid tensions over the Strait of Hormuz. Speaking to reporters in Florida on Saturday, Trump said Tehran wanted a deal but questioned its reliability, adding that another attack could occur "maybe tomorrow" or a "beautiful agreement" could emerge. He defended US strikes, claiming significant damage to Iran's military, including destroying its fighter jets and ships. Iran denied reports it offered to reopen the Strait of Hormuz in exchange for lifting the US naval blockade, calling the claims "a lie and fabrication." Separately, US intelligence reportedly detected advanced Iranian plots targeting American diplomats, prompting embassy staffing reductions in the Middle East.
